Mileposts is a SaaS based Longitudinal Learning Platform designed by Educators for Educators! The program was built to be an educator's tool to improve the learning for all students. Mileposts embeds relevant assessment data, both state and district-wide, which are district specified. Various modules within the program document and monitor the student as they progress through intervention strategies (Interventions and Progress Monitors), as well as provide the ability to add specific plans for students, depending on their need. For districts moving toward Personalized Learning, Mileposts features the Learning Objectives module, making quick work for teachers to set up learning objectives with activities for students (See Learning Objectives). With Single Sign-On now available for Mileposts Gooru users, educators have access to millions of resources tied to Common Core Standards, which can be assigned to students to meet their learning needs. These assignments are then available to students via the Portal. The Portal access can be given to parents and students. This is a way to fully engage both the parent and the student as part of the Learning Team. ​For educators, getting a picture of the 'whole child' includes behavior. Now student behavior can be logged into the Mileposts Behavior module. When behavior begins to impact student learning, staff can put interventions in place to guide the student to a more positive behavior.

The customizable design of Mileposts allows districts to configure many of the different features and modules to better fit their unique needs.Customizable features include:

​Mileposts collects vital information about student growth throughout the school year to help teachers and PLC teams guide educational programming for individual students; this is a crucial component of our school improvement process which is to ensure academic success for all students. With Silverback’s longitudinal learning platform we get a comprehensive resource that shows levels of mastery for each of our students, what worked or didn’t work in reference to previous instructional strategies, as well as comprehensive plans and intervention templates. We now have a resource that can be used to improve instructional techniques and interventions to enhance academic growth in all students attending Converse County School District.”“We now have a resource that can be used to improve instructional techniques and interventions to enhance academic growth for all students attending Converse County School District #1.”John Weigel - Converse County School District #1 Curriculum Director

​We have a refugee center in our community and there are over 25 languages spoken in the school district. With Mileposts we can keep track of these students, these refugees that need us the most. We use Interventions to make sure we don’t lose a single kid and we track them, monitor them, and make sure they integrate well into our schools.” Wiley Dobbs, Superintendent, Twin Falls SD
